Giant Transition
by Josh Holinaty and Luke Ramsey, July 2010, 
painted with Golden Acrylic Paints.
A community mural project supported by the ESPA, EJHS and EAC. 10010- 105 St, Edmonton John Howard Society Building, Alberta, Canada.

 

The giant on the right comes from a land of mass consumption and waste. His body is made-up of junk, trash and random man-made objects. He feels burdened by the weight of his load and feels stress and fear because of it. The giant on the left is showing compassion for her new friend. She comes from a land of green space and an abundance of nature. Her body is made-up of rivers, animals, and vegetation. As a gesture of support and understanding, she calmly puts her hand on the other giant's shoulder. He's feeling a little nervous about the change, but a positive transition begins to spread- a change that shares a common ground between the two. Their faces come together and form a complete circle, because they are in harmony with each other.
